It's great to see you around @bicyclegirls73. I recommend wearing your tracker normally and after the exercise you can manually log this activity by doing the following from a computer:

 

1. Go to the Activities page by clicking Log at the top of your dashboard, then click Activities. 
2. Under Log Activities, click a common activity or search for your activity in the search box. 
3. Select your activity from the search results. If the activity is not in our system, you have the option to create your own activity by clicking the Create custom activity text that will appear below the search field. 
4. Enter the duration, distance (if applicable), and start time of your activity. You have the option to manually enter the number of calories burned here if you'd like to. 
5. Click Log Activity. Your activity will now be visible and editable in the Logged Activities area. 

 

I hope this helps, happy stepping! Woman Happy

No its not step based. Some people put it on their ankle to get steps. But its not accurate.
